To ALL WHOM 1r MAY eoncnnm Be ihknorm that I, M G. Connm's, of the city and county of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Fruit Butter. Stirrer; end I do hcrehy. declare the follow-lug to-ho a full and exact description of the some, reference being bid to the accompshying drawings, which are modep'nrt of this specifi cation, and in which- Figure 1 is vn. vertical section. Figure 2 is a vertical section at right angles to section 1'. p v I The frame, which supports the stirring-apparatus, and to which the lids are'hinged, is attachable by thuiubscrews to the rim of the kettle. The stirring-devices consist of o oronk-sheft, hevel-pinions, and a vertical revolving shaft with arms.

In the drawings, A may represent an ordinary brass kettle, .w-ith o.hail, B. .The rint of the kettle is turned around o wire ring, and hssr'nn outward projection, which furnishes a convenient point sther n to attach} the frame C'by the thumb-screws DD. I I

The frame 0 has flanges E E, F F, the former resting upon the inside of the kettlc, ond the latter upon the outside, being tightened thereto by the thatch-screws? The posts-G GfriseQfromjhe upper side of-the frame 0, and support the horizontal crank-shaft H, vhose inner end has a hovel, L-vrhich engages with the bevel-wheel J, on the upper'end of the' shaft 4 I -v i p I The shaft K is journollcd' in beo'ringsin the froine'C' and the central-post Ii'firhioh rises therefrom, and hes'tn'o or rn0 re sets of dashers. The ofiice 'of the upper-Bettie to'stir up-ondhre'ck the fruit, andthat of the lower set to revolve in contact with the bottotnot the kettlo, nnd keep the fruit front becoming burnt thereon.

The frame 0 and the set=screws D may be of snfllcient le..gth to, hdspt thcmto varying sizes of kettles,

and the gearing may be raised in speed o'r'in other respects.-

p V H The lids M M are hinged to the bar 0, which forms the frcme, cn'dihsve'notohes at their ends, where they would come in contact with the boil in'opening.

Any requisite number of rleshers may be'iised, but it is desirable, the the lo'vv er one shall'more' in contact with the bottomeftho kettle, and conform in shape thereto. t The centrnl'shcft iuitj have u. hen ring or support in the bottom of the kettle, if deemed necessary. V

4 Having described my invention, what 1- him therein as nevn-nml desii'e to'secure by Iiett-erePntent, is-'- In a fruit-butter stirrer, the detachable frame C, with lids M, constructed and :irran'gedhs described, provided \i'ith the flanges E F,'a.nd supporting the posts G, having thclshsftsfflmpcn onc side of the'verticuhstirrer K, as herein shown and described. p I l r e To the above specification of my invention I have set my hand, this eighteenth day otld'anuory, A. 1867.
